<p>One of the most memorable Cork tourist attractions</p>

<p>Cork is a city with a very rich historical and archaeological heritage&nbsp;&ndash; much of it still in evidence today.</p>

<p>Part of this heritage, Cork City&nbsp;Gaol is located 2 km NW from Patrick&rsquo;s Street and while the&nbsp;magnificent castle-like building is now a major and unique visitor&nbsp;attraction, this Gaol once housed 19th century prisoners!</p>

<p>Visitors get a fascinating insight into day-to-day prison life at a time&nbsp;when the high walls ensured no escape and denied law-abiding&nbsp;citizens the opportunity to see one of the finest examples of&nbsp;Ireland&rsquo;s architectural heritage&hellip;</p>
